Marrying Gold and Jade

When Lin Yu opened his eyes and saw that cold and upright face, he thought he was dreaming.

"elder brother?"

"Yes," the man immediately held her hand, "I'm here."

Hearing the voices of my family members was the most vulnerable moment of my illness, and all the anxiety and grievances that were deliberately ignored suddenly came up.

"elder brother……"

She had tears in her eyes, and Lin Ji, regardless of the murderous look of the man beside her, wiped away her tears with his fingertips.

Then he asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Headache."

Her voice was so soft and thin that it sounded extremely pitiful.

Lin Ji took the opportunity to say, "Drink the medicine and the pain will go away."

"I don't want to drink..." Hearing about taking medicine, Lin Yu started to cry again, and shook her hand with great effort and said, "I want to go home, brother, take me home."

Lin Ji's whole body stiffened for a moment.

If possible, he would like to do so.

Blame him for being too young. Even if he is the new top scholar, without family support and no foundation in the court, he has no capital to compete with the powerful.

When he spoke again, he could only coax her softly: "Ayu, drink the medicine. Only after you drink the medicine will you have the strength to go home, right?"

Lin Yu listened to some of it, and when Zhu Lian raised the spoon to his lips, he frowned and drank several sips.

The incident happened suddenly at that time. He was busy re-arranging the pirates and discussing the deployment of troops with the officials of the governor's office. He had no time to bring food for her when he accompanied her on the journey.

At least it worked when the person arrived, and the black medicine was finally used up.

After drinking the medicine and taking a few sips of sweet soup, Lin Yu felt even more sleepy and lay back down under the quilt.

"Go back after feeding."

When Xu Jinxuan was coaxing people to take medicine, he could ignore them, but he could not wait to get them out after they were done.

"If you go further north out of Nanzhili, the imperial court will send people to pick you up, and you can also return with your people."

Lin Ji wanted to send her to Beijing.

However, whether his private advice to the local governor to mobilize troops was legal or not is questionable, not to mention that there were people transferred from the imperial court.

Lin Ji suppressed his emotions, stood up, and without a trace of joy or anger in his cold eyes, he bowed to everyone in a proper manner.

"Your Highness, please grant me the grace to bid farewell to my sister."

Xu Jinxuan laughed.

The more respectful and polite he was, the more ironic he seemed.

Knowing that he was a capable man with high aspirations, Xu Jinxuan gave up trying to win him over when he learned that he had feelings for someone.

It would be best if he stayed in Songjiang for the rest of his life and didn't get in my way.

In response to his request, Xu Jinxuan replied lightly: "No."

The image of Lin Yu looking at his boat with tearful eyes the first day is still in front of his mind, and Xu Jinxuan doesn't want to see her "parting reluctantly" again.

Two men were talking in the outer room, while red curtains and indigo were serving in the inner room.

Zhu Lian leaned over and pretended to tuck in the quilt for someone, then got very close to Lin Yu and said, "Miss, Master Ji is leaving."

Lin Yu immediately called out "Brother" like in a dream.

Zhu Lian stood up and turned to make sure both of them heard.

Qingdai was so frightened that she was so nervous that she dared not even breathe.

Lin Ji only glanced inside and then looked away, even maintaining a bowing posture.

Xu Jinxuan's brows were furrowed tightly.

He wanted to tell the person in front of him to get out immediately, the farther the better; he also wanted to teach Lin Yu a lesson when she recovered from her illness and tell her not to think about other men in her dreams.

But now, she is still sick.

If I let them go without saying anything, and when I look back and can't see those ships anymore, I'll be angry with myself again.

When she gets angry, she doesn't talk, which makes people feel upset.

After weighing the pros and cons, he said, "Get out of here when you wake up."

Lin Ji responded with a "yes" and was finally able to straighten his back.

Seeing the unusually red cheeks of the girl in the inner room, and thinking of the hot hand he had just held, Lin Ji thought, I hope she won't be sick again in the future.

I hope she stays healthy when I'm not with her.

Lin Yu woke up again at nightfall that day.

When she saw the two men beside the bed, she always felt it was too weird and she was so confused that her face wrinkled.

How ugly.

Xu Jinxuan was the first to notice that she had woken up, but he said, "Does your head still hurt?"

The girl shook her head, her eyes looking a little empty and confused.

Looking at Lin Ji again, he was still as steady and calm as I remembered, and even just looking at his face gave a sense of distance.

The first thing he said was: "Ayu, brother is going back."

Just one sentence made Lin Yu's eyes mist up immediately.

"Brother...won't you take me with you?"

The sick person had long forgotten that he only took the initiative to go with Xu Jinxuan because he knew that he could not compete with Xu Jinxuan for the time being.

"Yeah." Lin Ji responded calmly, "Ayu has grown up. He will take care of himself when he goes out, right?"

He was a man who learned things quickly. After just a few months of living together at home, he had gone from being a silent and taciturn person to being able to coax her.

Lin Yu couldn't stop crying.

Xu Jinxuan felt annoyed by what he saw and simply turned his back and stopped looking.

Lin Ji took out the small item from his sleeve and handed it to her, "This is for A-Yu."

Xu Jinxuan turned around to look again.

The man held a familiar-looking amulet in his hand, and it seemed to be something that could be obtained from Qianyun Temple.

Lin Yu also quickly recognized it, "This is what I gave you."

Lin Ji was sulky because he had gone up the mountain to ask for a peace amulet and it was not given to him on his birthday.

Now he took out what he had given him.

Lin Ji nodded and said, "Brother will give it to you again."

He only cared about Lin Yu's feelings, and he was sulking because she didn't care.

It’s perfect to bring it out now.

To be honest, he doesn't really believe in gods and Buddhas.

I just hope his A-Yu is safe.

"You need it more than I do."

Lin Yu finally accepted the gift with tears in her eyes.

"I...I'll go back..."

Lin Ji seemed to know what she wanted to say and said, "Brother will find a way to see you."

Even though we will soon be separated.

But his voice was calm and powerful, which reminded Lin Yu that whenever she got into trouble, Lin Ji would always help her settle it behind her back.

She finally nodded, "I believe my brother."

Lin Ji lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment. Not long after, he stood up and said, "Then I'll go back."

Lin Yu wanted to ask him to stay a little longer, but when she turned around and saw Xu Jinxuan outside, she suddenly swallowed the words.

Holding back the sobs, he said, "Okay, be careful on the road."

Lin Ji didn't seem to be reluctant to leave, and didn't even look at her again before leaving. He walked out of the room without forgetting to greet people, and left the door respectfully.

When he boarded the boat in the early winter night breeze, he finally took advantage of the cover of darkness and punched the boat hard.

Even with blood gushing out, he seemed to feel no pain.
